Legaran: Difference between revisions

A largely mysterious alien race, they can be described as a reclusive race of gastropods. They generally require a viscous organic fluid environment for movement and nourishment. Though nondescript physically, they prefer to live -- or at least confer -- in pool of thick swirling ooze which is carefully maintained at a constant 150o C. Significant work is required to prepare for their arrival, and to make them comfortable in an environment that is alien to them. Special vats are constructed for them, and a place in rooms that are decorated with a great deal of care -- they want no furniture, nor to have the walls too bright or decorated with paintings, for example. Because of this, they rarely travel off planet. They finally signed a treaty with the Federation in 2368 after nearly a century of negotiations.
